Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1932 represents the cricket season when the English club Derbyshire had been playing for sixty one years. It was their thirty-fourth season in the County Championship and they won six matches to finish tenth

Matches

Derbyshire played 28 games in the County Championship, and one match against the touring Indians on their first visit to England. Derbyshire won seven matches including the one against the tourists, but the season was marked by a number of draws and two abandoned matches.

A. W. Richardson was in his second season as captain in 1932. Denis Smith was top scorer with three centuries. Tommy Mitchell took most wickets. In the match against Essex at Chesterfield Garnet Lee and Stan Worthington achieved a 6th wicket partnership of 212 which remains a Derbyshire record.

Samuel Cadman's efforts at team-building[1] brought two significant players into the club during the season – Charlie Elliott and Bill Copson. Elliott went on to play for around 20 years and made nearly 12,000 runs for the club. Copson stayed almost as long and took 1000 wickets. He marked his debut in the match against Surrey when he took the wicket of Andrew Sandham on his first ball. Thomas Higson who also joined in the season played three years before moving to Lancashire. William Wright playing two matches, and Stanley Walker playing one match made their only first class career appearances in the season.
